Within the French-speaking anti-speciesist movement, many of us (?) view nature as a fiction stemming from the speciesist order of domination (an ideological category, therefore), which takes the form of a mysticism/religion that is never explicitly presented as such, yet serves as the founding myth of our civilisation. For those interested in the subject, a few texts have been translated into English, available here: https://resources.end-of-speciesism.org/category/analyses/ I am thinking in particular of “Doing away with the concept of Nature, back to ethics and politics”; “Appropriation and the concept of Nature”; “Humanism and the promotion of a natural order”; “On superiority”; “The myth of species”; and also, to a lesser extent, “Animals storming heaven”…
